Weekend thoughts...

So here we are at the beginning of a long, holiday weekend and I am already craving to go back to work. This terrible two-something is driving me out of my mind! I have patience, I really do, but he will wear me down until I am almost begging him to behave. It's sad and very unflattering...

Anyway, he inspired my layout based on a sketch tonight:

You Drive Me Crazy!

I used the Cupcake line from Basic Grey for this layout. I LOVE bright colors on my layouts and that is such a happy line. The journaling reads: "Matthew, you certainly know how to push my buttons. You refuse to listen, are a know-it-all, and you love to pester Mojo. Then you go and smile at me like this... what can I say, I am a sucker for your baby blues. - Mommy" The writing around the photo reads: "No, no, no!" "MINE!" "I need candy!" "Mojo bit me!" "but whhhhyyy?" "PUULEEAASSEEE?!"

It is so him right now but I also adore the quiet moments where he lets me hold him or asks me for a hug. He also always answers my "I love you, Matthew" with a "I love you SO much Mommy". Melts my heart!

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT!

I mowed my VERY first lawn today! Can you belive it!? 28 years without EVERY having mowed a lawn and I did it all by myself today. Even started the lawn mower by myself! I am a genius, I swear it! It's not that I never WANTED to mow a lawn. My father took such pride in his lawn and always mowed it a VERY specific way. And then I have always lived in an apartment/condo or my husband handled it. With Rich gone, it was basically thrust on me and I rised to the challenge! Muhahaha!!

And to top it off, I found it very relaxing. Something about the straight lines and instant gratification for a job well done. I know, I weird, but hey, I entertain myself!

So wish me luck! I have three more Matthew-filled days before going back to work. We are going to a bbq tomorrow afternoon but other than that, we have nothing planned. Should be interesting. Send help if you don't hear from me soon! *giggle*

Love you all!
